crass HISTORY ' 'Ship ahoyln was the call our class heard from Albert Mann, Jr., our president in 1959, as our crew of fifty-four embarked on the imaginary vessel, 'Knowledge,n for the first of our four voyages. Our vice presi- dent was Mary Alice Butlerg our secretary and treasurer, Hoyt Hamer: and in case of mutiny our sponsor, Mr. Charles R. Ealy, suggested that we elect Thomas Moon seargent-at-arms. Perhaps the experience he got at that time is now helping him fight the U-Boats in the Atlantic. In our sophomore year we had a larger crew on our ship, for we were joined by'the graduates of near-by junior high schools. Our former spon- sor, Mr. Ealy, was drafted into the U. S. Army, and we were placed under the guidance of Miss Elizabeth Carpenter. One of the red-letter days in the history of our voyages occurred during our junior year, when we entertained the seniors with a trip to Lookout Motntain. Coach Tuerman Wilson, who is now serving in the Army Air Corps, was our sponsor, and Professor Howe Chapman succeeded Profes- sor S. L. Mathison as our principal. It was during this year that we gave up, regretfully, two of our most likable classmates, Dewey Craft and Oli- vette Percival. Both are now serving their country well--Olivette as a typist in Washington, and Dewey as an antagonist of the U-Boats in the Pacific. In 1942 we embarked on the fourth and final of our high school voy- ages. This was an eventful year, spent under the guidance of our former sponsor, Miss Elizabeth Carpenter. The first of our enterprises as sen- iors was a Sock Supper, given for the purpose of securing funds for pub- lishing the yearbookg this proved to be a success. Then came the business of selling ads, and the final editing, which called for work. However, as we viewed the finished product, we experienced a sense of satisfaction, not because our work was perfect, but because we had done our best. Another undertaking requiring co-operation and patience was our sen- ior play. we presented Wlother-in-Law Blues,' in which O. S. Ledbetter and Mary Alice Butler were starred as a young married couple, and Edna Moon as the mother-in-law. we remember with pleasure the trip to Little Jerusalem and the de- lightful picnic which the junior class gave us at Thanksgiving time. It was with regret that we said goodby to Coach Smith, who Joined the Army Air Corps at the beginning of the year. Three of our classmates, also, felt the patriotic urge to defend their country's freedom, and for that reason we lost Gardner Maples, Frank Maples, and Tom Ed Webster. This- left only thirty-four members of the crew..0n this fourth voyage Martha Jack Turner and Jewel McKe1vey fell overboard for two outsidersg however, they remained with us to complete the voyage. All along our way we had felt that at the end of the last voyage, our good ship, Knowledge, would make a happy landing, and all members of the crew would then be free from cares and worries: but we now realize that the end of high school days is only the beginning of a richer and fuller life. As we take our places in a war-torn world, we feel that we need a strong, sustaining force to replace the guidance of our parents and teachers, and we say with'the hymn writer, J. E. Gould, - nJesus, Savior, pilot me - Over life's tempestuous seag Unknown waves before me roll Hiding rockspand treacherous shoalg Chart and compass come from Thee: , Jesus, Savior, pilot me.' s --0. S. Ledbetter
